Acid-fast bacilli. Gram-positive.
Colonies are non-pigmented and appear on 5% sheep blood agar, Middlebrook
7H10 agar and egg-based Lowenstein-Jensen slants in 2-5 days at temperatures
between 24 and 37 ºC, optimally at 30 ºC. No growth occurs at 42 ºC. No growth in 5%
(w/v) NaCl media or on MacConkey agar without crystal violet.

Associated with chronic pneumonia.
Isolated from human bronchial aspirate, two other strains have been isolated from patients with chronic pneumonia.
Susceptible in vitro to cefoxitin, imipenem, minocycline, doxycycline, clarithromycin, erythromycin, azithromycin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin,
ofloxacin and sparfloxacin. Resistant to amoxycillin, amoxycillin/clavulanate and tobramycin.
